Level 5 – Optimizing


Initial : Few processes are defined, and success depends on individual hard-work & efforts

Repeatable:  The necessary project management processes are established to repeat earlier successes on projects.

Defined: The software process for both management and engineering activities is integrated into a standard software process for the organization which is used as a standard process for developing and maintaining all software projects

Quantitatively Managed: Detailed measures of the software process and products are collected. Both the software process and products are quantitatively understood and controlled

Optimizing: Continuous process improvement is enabled by quantitative feedback from the process and by piloting innovative ideas and technologies
